About this listen

A novelisation of ITV's Sanditon, an unfinished Jane Austen story airing on ITV this autumn in the Sunday Night primetime slot.

Written only months before Austen's death in 1817, Sanditon tells the story of the joyously impulsive, spirited and unconventional Charlotte Heywood and her spiky relationship with the humorous, charming Sidney Parker. When a chance accident transports her from her rural hometown of Willingden to the would-be coastal resort of the eponymous title, it exposes Charlotte to the intrigues and dalliances of a seaside town on the make, and the characters whose fortunes depend on its commercial success. The twists and turns of the plot, which takes viewers from the West Indies to the rotting alleys of London, exposes the hidden agendas of each character and sees Charlotte discover herself...and ultimately find love.

Completed by award-winning novelist Anne-Marie Crowhurst, Sanditon will delight both fans of Jane Austen and the forthcoming television show.

This book is so perfect, the story line, the characters everything. I would say Sydney and Charlotte have the most purest love story of all time. Even when I was hearing this audiobook I would squeal a little and giggle every time they encounter each other. The narrator could have been a little better but overall wonderful book, story and all the characters are so different from each other. Definite read for any one who loves period books. Would love a continuation!

I really do not understand why anyone would commission a writer to finish a universally loved author's work from 200+ years ago in a hurry. This version is boring, doesn't progress the plot or develop characters and regularly hints with inuendo there's sex, incest, and rape going on behind closed doors. The ending, like the mini series, leaves us in no doubt that the heroine has no choice but to become the mistress of the unappealing hero, so he can maintain his income and get his brother out of debt. That's fine, some women became mistresses at that time. Just don't try to claim it as an "alternative" love story that Jane Austen meant to write.

Not even tolerable. I gave up at Chapter 19.
